I think I am.

Build date was originally Oct 28th, called today to see if I had been moved up.

I bet were shipmates because mine left on the 21st. I tracked the ship its 3 days out in the middle of the Atlantic. I can't figure out how to share a snapshot of its location

What I find ironic is that before I got my allocation in Houston, I had called PoABQ the week before to see if they had any slots.

I grew up there.

What date did you call them? Do you remember who you spoke with?

It was the first week of August, and the conversation was so short, I don't remember who I spoke with.

Adriatic Highway just sitting off the coast in the Atlantic for 2 days. According to AIS it will be another 2 days so now it's scheduled at port on Monday. Status is "not under command. What does that mean?

It means they have lost power, or enough so that they cannot maneuver.

I'd rather that this happen 2 days out than 2 hours.

There's a storm headed that way. Seas varying 6-12 feet, 30kt winds.

Not ideal for that sort of vessel. Lots of flat surface for winds to push around.

Hope they get it fixed!

Wait could that possibly be true? Lost power without any command maneuverability? Who owns these ships? Nocturnal Aviation Corp?
